Best Films of 2016

Ever it seems my retrospect finds shortcomings in the movie year. 2016 was not unique that way.

I’ll keep it short. I broke the list up differently this year. New movies, new old movies, and great re-watches.

Weiner was the stand-out of new movies, I thought. Surprisingly hilarious slow-motion self-destruction and painfully potent moments all on camera. Also, Green Room shows that Jeremy Saulnier is one of the most promising young writer/directors out there.

As for older films that I’d never seen, Gold Diggers of 1933 was a favorite. Busby Berkeley. A must-see. Also, I discovered Daughter of Horror (a.k.a. Dementia), pulp indie pop noir Surrealism and horror. Absolutely wonderful and bizarre.
